Eric Stewart, the writer and singer of this song explained this about the song.................
"At that time my wife and I had been married about eight years," Eric Stewart recalls, "and she asked me 'Why don't you say "I love you" more often?' I had this crazy idea in my mind that repeating those words would somehow degrade the meaning, so I told her 'Well, if I say every day "I love you, darling, I love you, blah, blah, blah," it's not gonna mean anything eventually.' That statement led me to try to figure out another way of saying it, and the result was that I chose to say 'I'm not in love with you,' while subtly giving all the reasons throughout the song why I could never let go of this relationship.
Eric and his wife Gloria are still married after more than 50 years( but I don't think it'll last, "It's just a silly phase he's going through.")
P.S. The girl who whispers " Big Boys Don't Cry." was their secretary in the recording studio and they realised that her voice was perfect for those spoken words.
10cc are a great English rock band from the 70's. This group was super talented as every member was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer & producer. "I'm Not In Love" was their biggest hit in 1975 but they had other songs such as "The Things We Do For Love", "Rubber Bullets", "Dreadlock Holiday", "The Dean & I", "The Wall Street Shuffle", "Silly Love", "Life Is A Minestrone", "Art For Art's Sake", "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" etc.
The background "music" in this song is not strings, horns, or woodwinds, it is each band member singing "ahhh" too every note in the song, then multiplied dozens of times to achieve over 600 vocals that sound like background music.
True. If you are familiar with the "mellotron" and how it works, then you could imagine the tapes in such a "keyboard" benig replaced by those voice recordings. But that's not how they did it. They used their freaking big mixing console and overdubbing to build this effect. That must have been tedious, laborious, work and only determination and artistic vision could have gotten them to the end-result.
576 voices. Three singers x 12 notes x 16 tracks. Looped, yes, like a Mellotron. Such imagination!
You have to listen to this song with headphones...there are so many things going on in this song...one of the most 'beautiful' songs ever recorded....
My absolute favorite song EVER
10cc....you would not believe the genius these 4 guys from Manchester, UK had. Their album, 'Don't Hang Up' is one of my favourites. Beautiful.
'Mum' is spot on.! lol. Mum is also thinking....if only I'd met him 30 years ago!!
Hi, Girls! This song was such a monster smash back in the day, that the BBC did a documentary on it entitled " The Making Of I'm Not In Love By 10cc"! Please pull that up, then you'll really appreciate the love that was poured into this song!
God Bless!
Excellent video I watched it. It’s amazing
Written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, Stewart came up with the idea for the song after his wife of eight years asked him why he didn't say "I love you" more often.
probably the most beautiful song ever written. The backing vocals/harmonising are off the planet
I'd say Vincent wins that accolade, but I love this too.
@@slayerrocks2 I was going to say God Only Knows, but both this song and Vincent are beautiful as well.
The band members spent a couple of weeks in the studio singing different chords in harmony, which were then used to provide the layered vocals you hear in the background. No, that wasn't synthesizer, it was human voices harmonizing. And it was all recorded, engineered and mastered on analog tape, before the digital age. Amazing production.
10CC were huge huge HUGE in Britain in the 70’s with a string of massive hits,all very inventive and catchy as all hell.
10cc are an incredibly intelligent band that straddle rock and pop. They are very talented Musicians and Writers their albums are brilliant! A great live band!
It truly is a love song. Straight up 100%, no strings attached except for sarcasm. He's not denying his love for her nor is he trying to deny it. He's simply being sarcastically funny in professing how deep his love is for her, because his girl knows and loves his sarcastic wit. 🙂
G & C pioneers on the modern music video
It's a great song. They got the admin worker at the recording studio to say the "big boys don't cry" line.
A group of lads from a small town in the north of England, Preston, created a song love of enormous originality and beauty. A gift from heaven.
Preston? I don't think so!
They tracked the opening over 10 times to get this opening. They weren't considered a rock band, but hit the top 10 many times.
Paul McCartney said this was the greatest song ever
Most younger people heard this song in Marvel movies GUARDINGS OF THE GALAXY
This song was groundbreaking in the way it was recorded. If you want something 10cc that's different, try Dreadlock Holiday. Also, you may want to look at a video called the making of I'm not in Love. You'll find out what the background sound is, it will surprise you. This song came about because the writers wife asked, "Why don't you say say you love me?". He wrote this song instead.
10cc were a very influential group from Manchester who sold millions of records and made brilliant videos. They operated out of Strawberry Studios in Stockport that I helped build.
10cc were a British group who had major success in the 1970's. "I'm Not In Love" was their biggest hit which went to #2 on the pop charts. Excellent song. Their other top 10 hit that you will also enjoy is "The Things We Do For Love".
Can't be forgetting "Dreadlock Holiday"!
I’m Mandy Fly Me, one of my favourites.
The Female vocal on I’m not in Love was provided by the band’s receptionist at the recording studio
Innovative all superb musicians and extremely creative typicaly British, music of my yoof 1975 I was 20, a song that bring back the thought you may have let "" the one" get away many years later... I always think of one girl in particular
The original singer I believe sings this song in 2011 and its worth listening too.I am not in love by 10 CC
Godley and Cream (2 band members) were the pioneers of layering vocals which they did in there studio in Stockport UK. The female backing singer was the receptionist from there studio. Their is a video of the making of the song which is fascinating to watch.
I watched a documentary on this song, they did 462 over dubs to make that vocal sound, sounds angelic
One of the most underrated bands èver. Saw them live 6 months ago and they were absolutely outstanding!! These guys are real musicians!! Great reaction as usual guys. Take care. Best wishes from the UK.
A sense of decorum stops me disclosing the etymology of the band's name, but it's fairly well-known in the UK. On a serious note: I love your reactions for the in depth discussions of both the songs and the music. My favourite reaction channel.
10cc is a British super group, every member is from a different British group, they all got together to form 10cc
The best slow record in my 70 years I have known
This song was technically revolutionary.
Lobo "Don't expect for me to be your friend" Another Love Song.
I went to see them live in concert in 1975 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Hopefully I will see them again for the 50 year tour later this year!! Happy Days!
the things we do for love ,is the perfect pop song
The sound is layers of vocals to nth degree
10cc are very underrated and tended to fly under the radar for most people despite most people knowing at least one of their song but not knowing who sang it.
The subtitle for this song would be " he does protest too much ". The wonderful thing about this song is its production values and the juxtaposition between the lyrics and music.
The Tingling sounds you hear are called Chimes, that the drummer uses.
Thank you
Beautiful mom and daughter🎸
This is absolutely one of my most favorite songs ever in the history of my musical journeyed life!!!
A Lover in Denial is Exactly what this song is about, and his minds process of trying to explain the many reasons why he does love her, he is so lying to himself as we all do when love comes to us under different circumstances and that's the only things this song doesn't clue us into, why is he trying to convince himself of this?. I remember laying in my bed as a teenager and hearing this song come on the radio in my teens in the '70s and being completely memorized and overwhelmed by its beautiful hypnotics sounds.
10cc was very popular in the seventies. "The Things We Do For Love' was a staple on the radio from the mid through the late seventies.
As to whether or not "I'm Not In Love" is a good love song, it was inspired by band member Dave Stewart's wife Gloria's complaint that he didn't tell her he loved her enough. After 57 years they are still married... and she still tells him he doesn't say "I love you" enough.
He doesn't want his heart broken he is acting as if he isn't in Love but he already took to long fall with LOVE... Just like every dream you ever had when you fell out of the SKY and woke up the moment you hit the ground... The Stain is for having fights and throwing thing... When he telling her he's not in love it means no longer
It Was A Number One Single! For Two Weeks On The British Singles Chart In 1975!
They went to a lot of trouble to make it look live but in reality they are singing along with the original recorded version (albeit edited). It would have been difficult to reproduce live back in the day as there were 48 voices and tape loops involved to achieve the aah effect, also Katy Redfern did the original big boys don't cry whispers.. But I love 10cc especially 'I'm Mandy Fly Me', 'Art for Art's Sake' and 'Don't Hang up'. Glad you girls loved it..
10cc recorded themselves individually singing 'Ahh' for every note they needed, and bounced the tracks many times to build up that incredible sound. It was controlled by pushing up the faders, making the mixer into an instrument itself. Great short documentary on how they did it.
I love 10cc - they actually had their own recording studio, and the production was immaculate. Too bad the two really funny and experimental guys left. They went on to produce several very interesting albums, and were very active making videos for other groups to be shown on MTV. (Duran Duran, Herbie Hancock, and even George Harrison.) The other two took the direction of a more commercial pop sound, and worked with Paul McCartney. Amazing talent all around. Very nice to see your smiles at this unforgetable song.
A couple of days ago, I saw a video of the making of "I'm Not In Love". It came up in my Recommendeds.
This is a master piece
Great reaction ladies, now ready for the flip side, “The Things We Do For Love” by 10cc next, if you please 🙂
Great choice! Simply a crowning achievement in the 70's soft rock genre. It's aged beautifully.
10cc is a great band, I always - and still do - loved listning to them. Great reaction from you both ...🎶🎸
I mean, is that a great song OR WHAT?? 👍🏼🖤 🎶 🎵 🎼
Great song.
Oh! He's definitely in love!! 😍
Yeah like 64 layers of voices on the background. Pretty genius. And the Big boys don't cry ladies voice, she was I think the office secretary or something.
Gorgeous song,beautifully sung.
How a man reacts to the love of his life when she want him to say "I love you" all the time. There's a famous hit song "Paroles, paroles" sung by Dalida featuring Alain Delon (released 17 January 1973). Basically she sings "words, words, words" to her suitor - in the pretty version of "I love you" that was followed by a cynical "yeah, yeah, yeah.".
Oh man I absolutely love this song
I love 10cc. They are a great band. A whole of energy trying to deny the truth.
He's in a state of bitter sweetness, because he's been rejected by his love.
This was the short 4-minute version of a 7-minute masterpiece but needed HEADPHONES to really appreciate it. One of the greatest Groups that ever came out of England. 4 musical Jewish genius's from Manchester., who were very big in The UK, in particular then. The incredible thing about these Guys is all their songs are different from each other.
They, painstakingly, produced that sound that took an eternity to create.
Hey ! Mum /Mom!. What is with the spoiler ? lol, It would have been fun seeing your daughter decide whether he was in denial.:)
Such a beautiful classic !!!!
hes painfully FULL ON in love
Thanks for reviewing my favorite song. I was 9 years old when it came out 😘
This used to be one of my favourite "late evening" songs. You know, you get home after an evening out, the lights are low, the fire's burning in the fireplace and you're having a glass of something you enjoy before you go to bed
That kind of tune.
Definitely a perfect "lights-out-late-at-night-listening-through-headphones" kind of song.
I remember this song so very well from my sophomore year in high school. And yes, it does bring back memories. They achieved the background voices by recording multiple layers of voices on top of each other. Enya did this frequently later on with many of her songs. When they needed a female voice to say, “Big boys don’t cry,” they got an admin in the office of the studio by the name of Cathy to record that part. Yes, he puts her picture over a stain in the wall when he knows he could very well put a picture of a giraffe or a moose there.😁
I also remember from my sophomore year in high school. I was going steady with a girl at that time.
I was in elementary school that year. Remember hearing this on the radio at the neighborhood pool that summer
You women can see right through us. That's one of the reasons we love you.
10cc are Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley & Lol Cream. The multi layed choir was achieved by the band members recording themselves over & over. When the band split Godley & Cream did a few albums on their own & went into video production. Graham Gouldman joined Andrew Gold to form the short lived band Wax who had a minor UK hit with a song you could try Bridge To My Heart. The song is all about someone so in love.
it is a beautiful love song written by Eric Stewart because the lead singers wife told him it was his best song yet and that he never says he loves her enough, after he was told that he promised to say 'I love you' every day for the last 48 years
You would like another song by 2 former members of this group called Cry and the members are Kevin Godley and Laurence Neil ( Lol) creme
One of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever….
A great song - way ahead of its time !!!
He is 100% in love. In very much denial. Remember this song back in the 70’s when I was a teen.
A rabbit hole worth going down!
I am not surprised that Americans know the song but not the band. 10cc is a British band and I mean British to the core. They were hugely popular in Europe with many great hit songs and album music, but not so much in The US, however this song made the charts in the US and lingered in the charts (like the music in this song) for many weeks. It's the type of music production that attempts to (and does at the right moments) put you in a trans.
A TON of painstaking work took place in the studio to create the sound. Fascinating, not done before recording techniques, intricate voice dubbing and layering and interesting work with the "Mellotron" keyboards. One of the band members (I think it was Godley) was involved in the development/invention of the Mellotron attachment for guitar which is prolifically used in the song "Heroes" by David Bowie, as an example of its use.
Two band members would split off, Godley and Creme to form a Duo and continue to make interesting and hit charting music. They also became influential producers of other artists and became important music "behind the scene" people. It was then Godley and Creme who, as producers, came to pioneer the marketing idea to produce high level videos to accompany and help market music which started the whole music video industry and gave MTV its birth or justification for existing and Godley & Creme became the industry's foremost music video producers.
The enormous hit song "Dreadlock Holiday" was a sort of re-unite/come-back song of the band which is and was noted for, not surprisingly, the video that accompanied the song.
They did was great they More music after
Another great british band!
All great song writers. Graham Goldman wrote, "No milk today"
He may have wrote "Bus stop" too
Godly and Creme left the group. "cry" was a big hit for them
10cc from Manchester UK, I saw them twice live once in Manchester and once in Zurich Switzerland. They had many hits and are one of the few bands that are better live than their studio songs. And yes Eric Stewart is a good looking guy 😀
One of the greats
Yes it was 1975. I was almost 20 years old. I was a United States Marine on Okinawa. My girlfriend broke up with me. I was heart broken 💔. To this day when I hear this song I think of Terri, from Lexington, KY, USA
Fantastic beautiful song!!!! Relaxing and takes you to a different world. By the way Gap ladies, that breezy sound you hear in the background that sounds like a keyboard synthesizer, that's actually multiple human voices that all the guys in the band recorded on different tracks and then stacked on top of each other many times. And then the engineer raised and lowered the volume on different tracks to create that beautiful sound. Pretty cool stuff for that time period. Oh, and the whispering "big boys don't cry" part is actually a woman that worked at the recording studio (I think she was the studio receptionist). They asked her to come into the studio and sing that part.
My interpretation of the lyrics always reminded me of a story from my past: I met a girl in my last year of University and, for me at least, it was love at first sight. We became inseparable from that very first day, but only ever as friends. I was always too scared to tell her how I felt. And the pain got so much that I had to convince myself that I didn't love her to stop from going insane. It took a pretty long process to do that, and, of course, the second I convince myself truly that "I'm Not in Love", she tells me she's crazy about me. But I've done that good a job falling out of love, I can't even bear to hear it, cos, by that time, my heart was completely closed off and I felt nothing but the pangs of regret that I didn't hold off a little bit longer and maybe we could have been together.
The lead singer on this song( they all sing lead on other tracks ) Eric Stewart, used to be in a band called The Mindbenders in the 60's and wrote and sang "Groovy kind of love" which Phil Collins covered later on. The Bass player, Graham Gouldman wrote lots of hits for The Hollies and The Yardbirds, who were famous British bands of the 60's.10CC made some great albums, with very witty lyrics.
And Herman's Hermits....No Milk Today!
Graham Gouldman was an very talented songwriter, he wrote many songs for other artists
The movie titled, The Virgin Suicides released in theaters 1999
The idea for the song came from Eric Stewart ( lead vocal ) saying to his wife that if he kept saying "I Love You" over and over, it wouldn't mean anything even though he did love her. He recalled to The Guardian:
Thank you so much for this reaction I loved it!!
Other great 10cc songs: Dreadlock holiday; Wall Street Shuffle
Dreadlock holiday, Good morning Judge.......Who thought they weren't rock and roll from the 70's?
A great British band.
They were huge in the 1970's-many hit songs you might recognise like Rubber Bullets, Wallstreet Shuffle, Life Is A Minestrone, The Things We Do For Love, Art For Art's Sake, Good Morning Judge, I'm Mandy Fly Me & Dreadlock Holiday.
This song was used in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack. Young Peter Quill is listening to it in the hospital where his mother is dying. However, it never got to the relevant lyric: big boys don't cry.
10CC is the greatest gift you can give the woman you love.
The daughter is lovely.
Eric Stewart wrote I'm Not in Love in response to his wife telling him that he didn't say "I love you" often enough.
When they were recording this song, Kevin Godley thought it needed something extra to put it over the top. He came up with the line, "Big boys don't cry," which the band members liked, but they needed to find the right voice to speak it. Just then, secretary Kathy Redfern opened the door to the control room and whispered, "Eric, sorry to bother you. There's a telephone call for you." Lol Creme said, "That's it! That's the voice!" Redfern was reluctant to do it, but they talked her into it. The line later became the inspiration for the band name Boys Don't Cry.
Eric Stewart and his wife Gloria are still married after 56 years... and Gloria still tells him he doesn't say "I love you enough".
IIRC, the lyrics were based on a kind of joke where, instead of constanly saying "I love you," he'd tell his wife that he wasn't in love.
There's a video on youtube about the making of this song. It's really kind of crazy the work that went into it.
Wow! Boy did song jolted me back to the 70’s!!! I thought there was controversy on their first choice of the name of their band.
As you like 10cc, you will love Ambrosia and their hit Holdin on to Yesterday.
This song written for his wife who complained that he never said "I love you" often enough
Beautiful, beautiful song! 🎶
